MAKEDEV(8)		      Make Linux Devices		    MAKEDEV(8)

NAME
       MAKEDEV - create devices

SYNOPSIS
       cd /dev; ./MAKEDEV [ -n ] [ -v ] [ update ]
       cd  /dev; ./MAKEDEV [ -n ] [ -v ] [ generic ] [ local ] [ group-keyword
       ... device ... ]
       cd /dev; ./MAKEDEV [ -n ] [ -v ] [ -d ] device ...

DESCRIPTION
       MAKEDEV is a script that will create the devices in /dev used to inter‐
       face with drivers in the kernel.

       Note  that  programs  giving the error ``ENOENT: No such file or direc‐
       tory''  normally	 means	that  the  device  file	 is  missing,  whereas
       ``ENODEV:  No such device'' normally means the kernel does not have the
       driver configured or loaded.

OPTIONS
       -n     Do not actually update the devices, just print the actions  that
	      would be performed.

       -d     Delete  the  devices.   The main use for this flag is by MAKEDEV
	      itself.

       -v     Be verbose.  Print out the actions as they are performed.	  This
	      is the same output as produced by -n.

CUSTOMISATION
       Since  there is currently no standardisation in what names are used for
       system users and groups, it is possible that you	 may  need  to	modify
       MAKEDEV to reflect your site's settings.	 Near the top of the file is a
       mapping from device type to user, group and permissions (e.g.  all  CD-
       ROM  devices  are set from the $cdrom variable).	 If you wish to change
       the defaults, this is the section to edit.

GENERAL OPTIONS
       update This only works on kernels which have  /proc/interrupts  (intro‐
	      duced  during  1.1.x).  This file is scanned to see what devices
	      are currently configured into the kernel, and this  is  compared
	      with  the	 previous  settings stored in the file called DEVICES.
	      Devices which are new since then or have a different major  num‐
	      ber  are	created,  and those which are no longer configured are
	      deleted.

       generic
	      Create a generic subset of devices.  This subset consists of the
	      standard	devices,  plus floppy drives, various hard drives, CD-
	      ROM drives,  pseudo-terminals,  console  devices,	 basic	serial
	      devices,	busmice,  audio	 devices,  video framebuffers, printer
	      ports, and some specialized devices. The generic	subset	varies
	      somewhat	according to architecture; see the /dev/MAKEDEV script
	      itself for details.

       local  This simply runs MAKEDEV.local.  This is a script that can  cre‐
	      ate any local devices.

DEVICE GROUPS
       MAKEDEV	creates	 groups of devices when passed keywords for the group.
       Each listing below shows the MAKEDEV keyword and then lists the devices
       which will be created. Many devices can also be specified individually.

STANDARD DEVICES
       std    Creates this group of standard devices: mem for access to physi‐
	      cal memory, kmem for access to kernel virtual memory,  null  the
	      null  device (infinite sink), port for access to I/O ports, zero
	      the null byte source  (infinite  source),	 core,	a  symlink  to
	      /proc/kcore  (for	 kernel	 debugging), full which always returns
	      ENOSPACE on write, random and urandom  random  byte  generators,
	      and tty to access the controlling tty of a process. The loopback
	      disk devices loop0 through loop7 are also	 created  in  the  std
	      group.  These allow you to use a regular file as a block device.
	      A filesystem image can be mounted, and used as though it were  a
	      filesystem  on a partition or other block device.	 loop may also
	      be used as a separate keyword to	create	the  8	loop  devices.
	      Finally,	the ram group of memory devices is also created by the
	      std keyword (see below).

MEMORY DEVICES
       ram    This is  the  keyword  used  to  generate	 the  ramdisk  devices
	      ram{0..16} and the ram symlink. This group does not include ini‐
	      trd.

       initrd Ramdisk which has been pre-initialized by a bootloader.	initrd
	      is  not  created	in  the	 ram  group;  it  must be specifically
	      included in the command line if you want it to be created.

       cpu or microcode
	      Creates the CPU microcode update interface in the	 cpu/  folder,
	      with  devices  microcode,	 and subfolders {0..3} each containing
	      devices msr and cpuid.

       rom    Creates the rom{0..7} rrom{0..7}	flaxh{0..7}  and  rflash{0..7}
	      flash  memory  card  devices.  rrom and rflash devices are read-
	      only.

CONSOLE DEVICES
       console
	      This keyword creates virtual consoles; tty{0..63}	 devices,  the
	      corresponding  vcs  and  vcsa devices which are used to generate
	      screen-dumps, and the console  device  itself  plus  appropriate
	      symlinks.	  To create the console device alone, use consoleonly.
	      The device tty0 is the currently	active	virtual	 console.  The
	      console device serves the same function.

PSEUDO TERMINALS
       pty    This  keyword  creates the Pseudo-TTY masters pty{a..e,p..z} and
	      corresponding tty{a..e,p..z} devices,  along  with  ptmx.	  Each
	      possible	argument  will	create	a  bank of 16 master and slave
	      pairs.  The master pseudo-terminals are pty{p..s}{0..9a..f}, and
	      the slaves are tty{p..s}{0..9a..f}.

SERIAL DEVICES
       ttyS{0..63}
	      Standard serial ports. There is no group keyword, you must spec‐
	      ify these individually. However ttyS{0..3} are created under the
	      generic option for most architectures.

       cyclades or ttyC
	      Creates Cyclades ports ttyC{0..31}.

	      Creates ISDN  BRI	 driver	 devices  isdn{0..63}  isdnctrl{0..63}
	      ippp{0..63} and isdninfo.

       isdn-io
	      Also  creates  ISDN BRI driver devices isdn{0..7} isdnctrl{0..7}
	      ippp{0..7} and isdninfo.	The isdn-ippp keyword can be used sep‐
	      arately to create only the ippp{0..7} devices.

       ppp    Creates a device independent PPP interface.

       dcbri  Creates Spellcaster DataComm/BRI ISDN card devices dcbri{0..3}.

PARALLEL PORTS
       lp     Creates  the  standard parallel ports lp0, lp1, and lp2 normally
	      used for printers.  These correspond to ports  at	 0x3bc,	 0x378
	      and  0x278.  Hence, on some machines, the first printer port may
	      actually be lp1.

       par    Alternative to lp.  The same ports are created,  but  are	 named
	      par{0..2} instead of lp{0..2}.

       parport
	      Creates raw parallel ports parport0, parport1, and parport2.

	      as  low  level  kernel  support for Ethernet tunneling. Userland
	      application can write Ethernet frame to /dev/tapX and the kernel
	      will  receive  this  frame from tapX interface.  Every frame the
	      kernel writes to a tapX interface can  be	 read  by  a  userland
	      application from the corresponding /dev/tapX device.

	      ircomm1 irlpt0 and irlpt1.

       comedi Control and Measurement devices comedi{0..3}.

MOUSE DEVICES
       busmice
	      This keyword creates the following devices: logibm (Logitech bus
	      mouse), psaux (PS/2-style mouse), inportbm (Microsoft Inport bus
	      mouse) and atibm (ATI XL bus mouse) and jbm (J-mouse).

       m68k-mice
	      Creates mouse devices  for  the  m68k  architecture,  including:
	      amigamouse, amigamouse1, atarimouse and adbmouse.

       input  On  powerpc,  this keyword creates the input folder which groups
	      input devices mice, mouse{0..3}, event{0..3}, and js{0..3} (joy‐
	      stick), and creates these devices inside.

JOYSTICK DEVICES
       js     Joystick.	 Creates js0 and js1.

       djs    Digital joystick. Creates djs0 and djs1.

USB DEVICES
       usb    USB  is a general purpose I/O bus which can serve many purposes.
	      The usb keyword creates a usb folder, and devices in the folder:
	      lp{0..15}	  (printer),   mouse{0..15}   (USB   connected	mice),
	      ez{0..15}	 (firmware  loaders)  scanner{0..15}  (scanner	inter‐
	      faces),  ttyACM{0..15}  and ttyUSB{0..15} (dialout devices), and
	      rio500 the Diamond Rio 500 device.

DISK DEVICES
       fd{0..7}
	      Floppy disk devices.  The device fdx is the device which autode‐
	      tects  the  format,  and the additional devices are fixed format
	      (whose size is indicated in the name).  The  other  devices  are
	      named  as fdx{dqhu}n.  The single letter (d, q, hor u) signifies
	      the type of drive: 5.25" Double Density (d), 5.25" Quad  Density
	      (q), 5.25" High Density (h) or 3.5" (any model, u). The number n
	      represents the capacity of that format in K.  Thus the  standard
	      formats are fdxd360, fdxh1200, fdx720, fdx1440, and fdx2880.

	      For more information see Alain Knaff's fdutils package.

	      Devices  fd0*  through  fd3*  are floppy disks on the first con‐
	      troller, and devices fd4* through fd7* are floppy disks  on  the
	      second controller.

       fd{0..7}-bare
	      Creates  just the autodetecting floppy device specified, without
	      the fixed format devices.

       hd{a..l}
	      AT (ide) hard disks.  The device	hdx  provides  access  to  the
	      whole disk, with the partitions being hdx{1..63}.	 For i386, the
	      four primary partitions are hdx1 through hdx4, with the  logical
	      partitions  being	 numbered  from hdx5 though hdx20.  (A primary
	      partition can be made into an extended partition, which can hold
	      4 logical partitions). Other architectures may not differentiate
	      partition types.	By default, devices for 20 logical  partitions
	      are made. The kernel supports up to 63 partitions per device.

	      Drives hda and hdb are the two on the primary controller hdc and
	      hdd are the two  drives  on  the	secondary  controller.	 These
	      devices  can  also  be  used  to	access	IDE CDROMs. Additional
	      devices hd{e..l} can be created.

       xd{a..d}
	      XT hard disks.  Partitions are the same  as  IDE	disks,	except
	      only 8 partitions are created.

       sd{a..h}
	      SCSI  hard  disks.  The partitions are similar to the IDE disks,
	      but there is a limit  of	11  logical  partitions	 sdx5  through
	      sdx15,  to allow there to be 8 SCSI disks on a system (addresses
	      0 through 7).

       sd{i..z}
	      and sd{a..d}{a..z} The kernel (and MAKEDEV) can handle up to 128
	      SCSI  disks  (up to sddx).  15 partition devices are created for
	      each.

       eda edb
	      MCA ESDI hard disk. Partitions are handled the same as hd.

       dasd{a..z}
	      Direct Access Storage Devices for the  s390  architecture.  Cur‐
	      rently  only  one	 device	 partition  is	created	 (for example,
	      dasda1).

	      ACSI disk (68k/Atari). 15 partitions are created for each.

       dac960.{0..7}
	      Mylex DAC960 PCI RAID controller. For this device, an rd	direc‐
	      tory  is	created. 32 logical devices cxd{0..31} are created for
	      each unit x specified, each with 7 partitions cxd{0..31}p{1..7}.
	      The dac960 keyword will create all 7 units at once.

       dpti   Adaptec  I2O RAID and DPT SmartRAID V I2O controllers. Creates 7
	      devices for handling up to 7 controllers.

       ataraid.{0..7}
	      Obsolete, device not in current devices.txt. For this device, an
	      ataraid  directory  is  created.	 dx is created for each unit x
	      specified, and 15 partitions dxp{1..15}.	 The  ataraid  keyword
	      will create all 7 units at once.

       i2o.hd{a..d}{a..z}
	      I2O  based  harddisk drives. Device nodes are located in the i2o
	      directory. The filename is followed by a number  that  specifies
	      the  partition on each disk. The numbers are handled the same as
	      hd.

       ida.{0..7}
	      Compaq Intelligent Drive Array. For this device, an  ida	direc‐
	      tory  is	created. 16 logical devices cxd{0..15} are created for
	      each   unit   x	specified,    each    with    15    partitions
	      cxd{0..15}p{1..15}.  The ida keyword will create the first three
	      units.

       cciss.{0..7}
	      Compaq Next Generation Drive Array. For  this  device,  a	 cciss
	      directory	 is created. 16 logical devices cxd{0..15} are created
	      for  each	 unit	x   specified,	 each	with   15   partitions
	      cxd{0..15}p{1..15}.   The	 cciss	keyword	 will create the first
	      three units.

	      tape-reset.

       ftape
	      Floppy  driver  tapes  (QIC-117).	 There are 4 methods of access
	      depending on the floppy tape drive.  For each of access  methods
	      0,  1,  2	 and 3, the devices qftx zqftx and rawqftx (rewinding)
	      and nqftx nzqftx nrawqdtx (non-rewinding) are created.  For com‐
	      patibility,  devices  ftape  and nftape are symlinks to qft0 and

MISCELLANEOUS DEVICES
       sg or sg-all
	      Generic SCSI devices.  The devices created are sg0 through sg16.
	      These  allow arbitary commands to be sent to any SCSI device, to
	      query information or control SCSI devices	 that  are  not	 disk,
	      tape or CDROM (for example, scanner or writeable CDROM).

       fd     To  allow an arbitary program to be fed input from file descrip‐
	      tor x, use /dev/fd/x  as	the  file  name.   This	 also  creates

       misc   This keyword creates all the following devices. You may find the
	      device  explanations  in other categories in this man page, many
	      under OTHER DEVICES below.  logibm, psaux, inportbm, atibm, jbm,
	      amigamouse, atarimouse, sunmouse, amigamouse1, smouse, pc110pad,

       Network Devices
	      Linux used to have  devices  in  /dev  for  controlling  network
	      devices,	but  that  is no longer the case.  To see what network
	      devices are known by the kernel, look at /proc/net/dev.
